The last three years have been tough for many young people and that continues, due to the cost of living crisis. Please help children in our De Beauvoir community, particularly those who live in the high-rise estates, have a little fun this summer.

We organise a programme of day activities for many children over the summer, which runs right through until early September. Things like: dancing, swimming, go karting, trampolining - culminating in a community BBQ for anyone to attend. We tailor the programme to whatever money we raise.

At The Crib we encourage an inclusive and positive participation in society regardless of background or circumstance. Some of the children we help are at risk of offending, others may have difficulties accessing mainstream education and some lack family support for all sorts of reasons. This year’s programme aims to include parents/guardians too to help develop those family relationships.

We would be enormously grateful if you could contribute to the cost of our summer 2023 activities. Any donations, however small, would make a real difference to some of our local families who would be most appreciative.

Thank you so much, with love and very best wishes, Janette Collins, MBE and CEO of The Crib Charity xx
